Hiroaki Iwanaga, the voice actor as Guts, commented on Hirasawa's performance at Berserk event on April 2, 2017

The great master Mr. Susumu Hirasawa. We cannot talk about Berserk without him, who is a unique artist beyond comparison.

Mr. Hirasawa is a gentle and quiet person normally, but on the stage he has such a dignified aura and his presence absolutely overwhelms everything and everyone there.

Listening to and watching his performance was not just listening and watching. It was an experience that made every drop of my blood tingled with excitement... l had an experience that no words of mine can describe... I was truly overwhelmed by Susumu Hirasawa's world.

I feel sincerely honored to be able to work with Mr. Hirasawa in Berserk three-volume films and the TV series this time.
